It is funny to see the Camden papers APP

voting for Camden. at the same time condemn

MISCELLANEOUS.
ATGTliblB STANDARDIZATION
A FATAL MISTAKE.

THE Cleveland (ohio) Press,
. of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as q
faint call gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosaye the patients
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR., Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell Of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an exanin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did ret haze cancer .
When too latethe medical men
discovered that they had made
q terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
IF this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution { for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia OF Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
eases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

The "stogie " is derived from the
old Conestoga wagons, which used
to be so numerous on the old nation
al pike. The drivers of these
wagons were in the habit of buying
cheap strong cigars, and being heavy
smokers kept asking for cheaper
cigar than was then made. Over at
Washington, Pa, a cigarmaker, in
answer to this demand for cheaper
cigars, evolved long, slender roll
Of tobacco, which he offered to the
drivers at the rate of four for a cent.
The new cigar became popular
among the mail drivers and freight
ers, and was called the Conestoga
cigar, abbreviated afterwards to
!" stoga," and later to "stogie."

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION.

Then. Y. Independent, in a recent ar
ticle on the restriction of immigra-
ton, pronounces it a very difficult
|problem to solve. 1t asks a number
of questions bearing on the PROPOSE
ton, and then says:
He who undertakes to answer
these questions will do well to think
twice before he gives the answer.
Professor Boveson, in an article pub.
lished in The Forum, thinks that
something ought to be done to keep
out the foreigners whom we do not
want in this country; but precisely
what that something is be does not
say. So, also, Senator Palmer, of
Michigan Senator Cull0m, of Him
oils; and Mr.. Depew, of this state, IN
recent speeches, expressed the opin-
ion that there ought to be no room
in this country for dynamiters, for
eign Socialists, and anarchists, or
lawless classes of any character; yet
they fail to tell us precisely what
laws they would have enacted as the
means Of gaining this end. Those
who are agitating the question of
further restriction upon immigration
keep themselves comfortably clear
of the zeal problem to be solved. 1t
is doubtless true that, under existing
laws, many persons come here whose
presence is no benefit to US; but
how to keep them out and admit
only those who will be an advantage
to the country, is not matter to be
determined by an off.hand speech.
The whole matter is beset with diff
culties far too great for sudden or
hasty action. We are not prepared
by any means for reversal of our
time honored policy in regard to the
immigration of foreigners. The evils
must be much greater than they are
at present before we enter upon a
radical change Of this policy. 1t
will be time enough to make such a
change when the facts call for it.
The N. Y. Independents head seems
level on this subject. While we do
not want dynamiters and other dan
gerous classes, the country will hard
ly be willing to adopt the old Know
Nothing policy to keep them out.
If they will become peaceful citizens
when they get here, all right ; if not,
let them be dealt with as they de-
serve. This country is strong
enough, certainly, to punish evil-do-
ers of every class and kind which
violate our laws. AS the Indepen-
dent says, the evils must be much
greater than at present, before the
country will "reverse it's time honor

In recent interview at Pittsburgh

LII a recent interview at Pittsburgh
General Golf struck the keynote.
He said: i" Republican concentration
will carry West Virginia next year
without reference to Presidential
preferences. West Virginia is ma
turally Republican State. 1t is in
all of its prominent physical charac-
teristics very much like Pennsyl-
vania and only needs the same do
veloping influences to make it anoth.

good coal, more limestone and more
mineral resources, all elements of
Republican strength, than Pennsyl.
vania. However, we all see the pro.
cesses of development. They are
coming sure and soon."

Two incidents in the political world

Two incidents in the political world
occurred recently, which are rather
significant of the drift Of Democrat
ic public sentiment. In the New
York Democratic State Committee
which met at Saratoga, to arrange
for a State Convention, the friends
of President Cleveland downed the
friends of Gov. Hill. In the Demo.
cratic State Convention of Pennsyl-
yania Mr.. Cleveland and his free
trade policy were defeated by Ran.
dali and his protective Democratic
following. 1t was industriously cir,
culated that W. L. Scott and Mr..
Singerly, of the Philadelphia Record,
free trade, would control the Con-
vention and shape the platform, in
accordance with Mr.. Cleveland's Sec
rotary Fairchild's tariff notions. This
they failed to do. Randall and Scott
were both on the Committee on Reso.
lutions. The report, however, was
Randall's, repeating the Chicago
resolutions on the tariff issue and
defeating the free trade fallacy of
the administration. We have the
Virginia and Pennsylvania Demo.
cracy antagonizing the administra-
ton on this question and the Ken
lucky and Ohio Democracy, support.
ing it. And yet the harmony that
exists is oppressive.
